The guilder (Dutch: gulden) was the currency of Suriname until 2004, when it was replaced by the Surinamese dollar. It was divided into 100 cents.
The last series of Surinamese guilder banknotes was introduced in 2000 in denominations of 5, 10, 25, 100, 500, 1000, 5000, 10,000 and 25,000 guilders. This issue has a flower on one side and a bird on the other.
